Honk News (Sacramento, CA) – A 29-year-old man has received a staggering 400-year prison sentence after being convicted of sexually assaulting underage girls during their sleepovers at his residence.
Brandon Xiong has been convicted of sexually assaulting four young girls, aged between 5 and 10, as reported by the Sacramento County district attorney’s office. In a disturbing turn of events, individuals were lured to sleepovers at Xiong’s residence, only to be taken to a hidden area of the home while they slept, where they faced sexual assault at the hands of Xiong. In October 2018, one of the victims confided in her mother about the abuse, prompting investigators to uncover more victims.
The District Attorney’s office did not provide any information regarding the circumstances of the sleepovers or the reasons for the girls staying at Xiong’s residence.
Xiong faced a conviction last week on nine felony charges, including three counts related to forcible lewd acts upon a child, two counts involving sexual acts with a child under 10, three counts of lewd acts upon a child, and one count of contacting a minor to commit a felony, according to the district attorney’s office on Monday.
Xiong faces felony charges along with a multiple victim enhancement, leading to full, consecutive prison sentences for each sex crime perpetrated against various victims, or against the same victim on different occasions.
Officials reported that Xiong had a prior conviction for attempted first-degree burglary. In California, the three-strikes law significantly raises the likelihood of more severe penalties. A third offense could result in a sentence ranging from 25 years to life behind bars.
Xiong has received a 400-year sentence, marking one of the rare cases of extensive prison time for sexual assault offenses in California.
In 2023, 36-year-old Daniel Ramirez Gutierrez faced serious allegations involving 19 counts of sexual assault against two children and one adult in San Luis Obispo and Contra Costa counties. A lengthy prison sentence of 435 years was handed down to him. In 2016, a 41-year-old man from Fresno received a staggering sentence of 1,503 years for the horrific crime of raping his teenage daughter over a span of four years.
Xiong may face at least 20 years of his extensive 400-year-to-life prison sentence, as stated by the district attorney’s office.
